I've always had a home bar set up in one fashion or another... even from a (ahem) young age. The idea of walking to a cabinet or a bar and pouring out a sipping spirit is pretty awesome. It makes your guests feel more at ease, and keeps the crowd out of the kitchen for parties.

I have a gilded bamboo cart (pics to come...), but I love these concepts for the home bar. Admittedly I've run out of space on mine and am thinking of upgrading...
